Yes they should be.
Yes you can use a LOC to pull signal, though it's a terrible way to go about it considering we have a perfectly good digital signal you can pull using the HELIX MOST25.
Here is an updated picture of the more "finished" box build.
I upgraded the two rear 8inch subs to the "Match Brand" subs. However, the guys programmed the DSP allowing me to experience good mid bass from the 8 inch subs (i dont really want to call them subs anymore) and deep bass from the 10inch sub. I am getting the highs I need and the lows and they dont seem to be getting mixed up together in the music. I do know they utilized a microphone to start the tuning process. The rears have been delayed and remind me of surround sound rear speakers if that makes any sense.
That's brilliant! You found a shop that actually knows what they are doing. Adding the two 8" was smart. The surround sound you are referring to is called "rear fill" where you do a 20ms delay, bandpass filter, and R-L/L-R signals. My shop had no idea what this was so I just redid all the tuning my self. You should a get a URC.3 and have the shop assign the rear fill to one of the knobs so you can adjust your surround effect to your liking on the fly.
Yes, I have been leaning that direction anyway. The biggest problem with the Helix SDMI25 seems to be finding one available! The other concern I have read about was the issue with code updates for the car. I would prefer to not have to reinstall the factory amp if it needs to go to the dealer for some reason.
@Sam B mentioned he did a recall/update without his factory amp & asd.
Do you mean actuallyplugging your phone into the port already present in the car. Or plugging directly into your DSP?
Plugging it into the port that in the car. The USB plug in next to cig lighter doesn't see to worth with my Samsung s22.
